    Why does only one train per hour call at Blackrod?

    Not sure the relevance of what you say about Hale if the distortion at Blackrod is due to split tickiting? Also Blackrod's usage figure is more than both New Mill stations combined, and from next year they'll be getting 4tph (inc 2 terminators!!!)

    I don't see such distortions at other first/last GM stations though? Glazebrook, Patricroft, Orrell, Strines, Hale etc

    Why does only one train per hour call at Blackrod?

    Why does Blackrod have only 1 train per hour, when usage is nearly 600k pa, comparable with nearby Chorley and Horwich Parkway that receive 3 trains per hour and much more than Lostock which receives 2 trains per hour?
